My uncle passed away suddenly and I am going to have to travel tonight to S.C.

We are driving all night. My question is what do I take with me? The next few days

my diet is going to be turned upside down. I called my DR. and he told me to

make sure and take Imodium with me and to eat carefully. Any advice???

I never travel without some microwave cans of Progresso Chicken Wild Rice soup, you can even find them at drug stores. Pack a cooler with your bread, nut butter, protein bars, whatever else you'd eat at home. We were traveling recently and I ran to the supermarket, bought a rotiserie chicken and small thing of mayo, threw in some dried cranberries and viola - chicken salad.

Take care!

You can take trail mix, almonds, Clif Nectar Bars, Organic Food bars, Alpsnack bars, fruit, veggies, Corn Thins or rice cakes with peanut butter, corn chips, a bag of Tinkyada and a jar of sauce (if you'll have access to a kitchen). I'll often bring a big cooler and put as much stuff in it as possible. Carry food around with you so you're never in a situation where you'll eat something potentially unsafe because you're hungry.

Thank you for your kind words. It means so much at this time.

Thank you for the advice on the foods to take. I haven't had to travel since my dx

and appreciate all the advice.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your uncle. This is a trying time, with out having to worry about to eat.

My suggestions are:

take a cooler, yogurt, cheese, corn tortillas, lunch meat-you can make a quick roll up sandwich that way

Lara bars

Nut thins

if you have time make a pan of brownies

nuts

That's all I can think of, everyone else had excellent suggestions. I'm just so sorry. I hope you journey is safe.

      I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, not a parasite infection. Regarding your Celiac disease, the reaction you describe, while real to you, does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis; a delayed reaction is common with various digestive issues, and a definitive diagnosis typically requires specific blood tests and an intestinal biopsy, not just a provider's acceptance of symptoms. Furthermore, your mention of approaching mayors seems to misunderstand the role of local government versus federal policy; the deduction for gluten-free food is a federal tax law, and a mayor has no jurisdiction to implement widespread Celiac screening, which is a medical and public health decision far beyond a municipal leader's purview. It sounds like you are navigating a difficult health journey, but I would strongly advise consulting with qualified medical specialists and registered dietitians over relying on unverified online cleansing programs.

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
